Origin in Research<br />

technologies for charge controllers. Towards the end of 2000, a group of these researchers founded <strong>Phocos</strong> AG. To this day, <strong>Phocos</strong><br />
maintains close co-operation with the Ulm University of Applied Sciences in the field of autonomous power supply.<br />
